Sorry if I didn’t get it from your post. I was probably too mad still… DH decided he’s going to speak to him in person, and he, too, wants me to write a letter w/o any explanations.

Call an attorney before you do anything. In some states, like mine, if there isn’t a written lease, the law regarding tenants applies. When the rented place is the person’s home, you have to give notice not less than the frequency of the rental payment or 30days, whichever is longer. In addition, the notice must be given before the next payment date, with the termination being the one after that. If the tenant doesn’t leave, you can then file what here is called an ejectment action, and get a judgment, and the sheriff will throw him and the girlfriend out and put their stuff on the street.
I have had a lot of experience, professionally, with people like your tenant, and you can’t fix them. You aren’t likely to outwit them because people like that usually know better than you do what you can and can’t do. They’ve been around. You just have to get rid of them. Call a lawyer and get your notice running.
The good thing is that a lot of those kind will get out right before the court date, or even after the deputy serves a summons on them. If they’re doing anything illegal, and they likely are, they don’t want the attention of the law focused on them.

I second that one, Yessi!! Very good point, Sina. You can also ask for his GF to start paying since she’s been staying there too.Charge the GF rent! She is using utilities too and you only had a deal for one person to live there.
Bah what do I know about this stuff. It is definitely a mess you DO NOT need.
Hope everything works out so you can get some peace around there.
Best of luck on what ever you decide. Let us know what happens.
